2000 Toyota Solara Alternator Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the alternator on 2000 Toyota Solara?

  A: One must begin generator maintenance by eliminating the rear end cover starting with terminal insulator nuts along with screws and three plate nuts and terminal and end cover. The next step requires removing the brush holder and voltage regulator by disconnecting them from their respective 5 screws and brush holder cover. Extractor the rectifier holder by removing its four screws and holder and then its 4 rubber insulators along with the seal plate during this process. Start by inserting the pulley holding tool that uses Special Service Tool: 09820-63010 along with a torque wrench to perform a clockwise socket tightening procedure to 39 Nm (400 kg.cm, 29 ft.lb). Ensure tool security on the rotor shaft before loosening the pulley nut counterclockwise while remaining vigilant to prevent rotor shaft damage by not exceeding half a turn. The generator needs to be taken out from its adapter position before separating the pulley nut from the pulley. Start by unfastening 4 nuts then removing the cord clip from the rectifier end frame before using Special Service Tool 09286-46011 to uninstall the frame and generator washer jointly. The replacement process starts by removing the four screws and bearing retainer of the front bearing and replacing them with a new bearing through the socket wrench and press mechanism followed by using Special Service Tool 09950-60010 (09951-00500) to install a new bearing before screwing it into place with four screws at a torque of 3.0 Nm (31 kg.cm, 27 in.lb). The rear bearing installation requires Special Service Tool 09820-00021 for outer bearing cover removal before bearing and fan damage prevention followed by removing the inner cover but placing it on the rotor to compress the new bearing using Special Service Tool 09820-00030 while subsequently using Special Service Tool 09285-76010 for the outer bearing cover. To reinstall the rotor use the drive end frame by first setting the rectifier end frame on the pulley followed by rotor installation. Repeat this process by utilizing a 29 millimeter socket wrench to secure the rectifier end frame on the rotor after you place the generator washer onto it first. Utilize the specified torques of 4.5 Nm (46 kg.cm, 40 in.lb) alongside 5.4 Nm (55 kg.cm, 48 in.lb) for Nut A and Nut B, respectively. First torque the generator pulley shaft nut by hand but later use a pulley holding tool to fasten it to the pulley shaft at 39 N.m (400 kgf.cm, 29 ft.lbf) then secure it to the shaft while torquing the nut to 133 N.m (1,356 kgf.cm, 98 ft.lbf). The installation of the rectifier holder requires placing the 4 screws onto the end frame before tightening each screw with a torque of 2.9 Nm (30 kg.cm, 26 in.lb). Before setting the brush holder cover on its position position the voltage regulator and brush holder correctly on the rectifier end frame then use 5 screws at 2.0 Nm (20 kg.cm, 18 in.lb) torque to secure them. Choose the services for end cover and plate terminal installation according to specified torque requirements. Begin by tightening the screw to 3.9 Nm (39 kg.cm, 35 in.lb) followed by tightening the nut to 4.4 Nm (45 kg.cm, 39 in.lb). Afterward install the terminal insulator by screwing the nut to 4.1 Nm (42 kg.cm, 36 in.lb) and verify rotor smooth rotation.
